This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese application serial no. 202211336276.8, filed on Oct. 28, 2022. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.

The disclosure belongs to the field of automatic control of unmanned boats, and more specifically relates to a non-singular finite-time control method and system for prescribed performance dynamic positioning of unmanned boat.

In the past decades, a lot of developments related to ocean have been conducted, and unmanned boats have been widely adopted. When performing tasks such as oil drilling and laying submarine pipeline in deep sea areas, due to the restriction of length of the mooring cable, it is difficult to perform positioning tasks through the conventional anchoring method. The dynamic positioning technology that resists environmental disturbances through the self-propulsion system of the unmanned boat makes it possible to perform positioning tasks without mooring, thereby reducing the complicated anchoring process and it is possible to conduct tasks in water at a depth greater than 1000 meters. On the one hand, the positioning accuracy may be ensured, and on the other hand, the cost required for conventional mooring positioning may be saved.

In recent years, dynamic positioning control has been extensively studied by scholars worldwide. Based on nonlinear and intelligent control theories, various controllers have been proposed, but these controllers can only ensure that the positioning error is eventually and consistently bounded or asymptotically stable when the time is infinite. Although the finite-time control that has emerged in recent years is able to achieve the goal of control in a finite time, the integration of power terms may bring potential singularity, and it is difficult to precisely constrain the error state in the transient process. In the actual task of performing dynamic positioning of unmanned boat, considering that there are many uncertain factors in the surrounding environment of unmanned boat, it is very important to avoid singularity in the control process and ensure that the error converges within a finite time.

To solve the defects of related art, the purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a non-singular finite-time control method and system for prescribed performance dynamic positioning of unmanned boat.

In order to verify the effect of the dynamic positioning control method in the present disclosure, a certain unmanned boat was adopted as the simulation object to carry out the following simulation experiments. In order to fully verify the effectiveness of the designed control algorithm, the unmanned boat was set out from two different initial positions in the simulation, and the position 1: [5m,5m,10 o ] T , position 2: [−5 m,−5 m,−10 o ] T .

Generally speaking, compared with the related art, the above technical solution conceived by the present disclosure has the following advantageous effects.

The non-singular finite-time control method and system for prescribed performance dynamic positioning of unmanned boat provided by the present disclosure adopt the prescribed performance technology

( ξ = 1 2 ⁢ ln ⁡ ( χβ u + β l ⁢ β u β l ⁢ β u - χβ u ) )

to constrain the dynamic top position error, and improve the operation accuracy of unmanned boat. In the meantime, the fuzzy logic system integrated with the minimum parameter learning method estimates the dependency term and 10 saturation deviation of the unmanned boat model parameter matrix (D and M), offsetting the input saturation and unmanned boat model uncertainty while reducing the computational burden. In the design of virtual control law and dynamic controller, the advantage of smooth sign function is adopted for reference, and the intermediate control variable τ̆ sat is used to perform bounded smoothing to obtain

τ s ⁢ a ⁢ t = - τ ⌣ s ⁢ a ⁢ t ⁢ τ ⌣ s ⁢ a ⁢ t T ⁢ e ^ e ^ T ⁢ τ ⌣ s ⁢ a ⁢ t ⁢ τ ⌣ s ⁢ a ⁢ t T ⁢ e ^ + δ 2 2 .

Meanwhile, considering that the power term in conventional finite-time control may have singular when the error is zero, a non-singular finite-time term that is switched along with the tracking velocity error is designed in the virtual control law and dynamic controller. By properly constructing the switching function, the continuity of the algorithm at the switching point is ensured while ensuring convergence at finite time. In summary, the present disclosure ensures the non-singular finite-time prescribed performance dynamic positioning control of the unmanned boat in the presence of model uncertainty and input saturation constraints.
